There is a growing consensus that small doses of pesticides and many other chemicals can have adverse affects on humans, especially young children and newborns. Exposure of these chemicals can have long lasting effects.Peeling and washing fruits and vegetables can reduce the risk of coming in contact with pesticides but they aren't eliminated. Peeling also takes away valuable nutrients from food.
In this website http://www.foodnews.org/
It shows a list of the highest and lowest pesticide Ranking from 1 - 43
Peaches ranked #1 for the highest pesticide and Onions ranked #43 for the lowest pesticide load.
I never paid attention to pesticides in food so I take a closer look on where food comes from.
